Key legal question
How the valid income should be determined after the employer's bankruptcy and the insured's career development
Extracted holding
The valid income must be based on the current comparable occupational activity and the actual wage at the time of the contested decision, extrapolated to full-time.
Extracted reasoning
Because the former employer had been liquidated, the insured would not have remained there. She had returned to work in her trained profession, and both the former and current wages were close enough to make the current wage a more concrete benchmark than older indexed earnings or statistical tables.
